Details

Château Corbin 2015 greets the eye with a deep garnet hue, hinting at its richness and depth. On the nose, it opens with an intricate bouquet of black plums, ripe blackberries, and preserved cherries, all accented by subtle notes of cigar box, spice, and a delicate hint of lavender. As the wine evolves, earthy undertones of forest floor and a whisper of cedar emerge, adding complexity and intrigue. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, showcasing a firm structure with finely grained tannins. The fruit flavors are vibrant yet refined, balancing power with elegance. The finish is long and lively, leaving a lingering impression of spice and dark fruit, with a touch of cinnamon that adds finesse to the wine's graceful exit. This vintage captures the essence of its terroir, promising further evolution with time.



Robert Parker - 92 Points

"A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc aged for 18 months in barrels, 40% new, the 2015 Corbin is medium garnet-purple colored with cigar box and spice box notions accenting the core of red and black plums, blackberry preserves and earthy layers plus a hint of lavender. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm, elegant and well balanced with grainy tannins, finishing lively and long."
